Who are your favourite POT characters?

There were a lot of arguments going on about rankings, who was better, who's got more potential, things like that.
So in a more lighthearted manner, I thought I'd ask who everyone would pick as their favourite characters?

There's no limit to the number you can pick, you don't have to give an order, it's just a chance to admire how genuinely awesome some of the characters are.

I'll start - my favourite is Kikamura, but below him I'd have to say Niou, Fuji and Atobe.

I wish Kikamura was paired up with someone more interesting than Oichi

Re: Top 10 Favourite Players of the series

Hahahah. sorry it's Akazawa from St. Rudolph.
a forgotten bro but i still like him.
I personally think his tennis skills should be around Rikkai level (during Prefecture) but because of screen time limitation, we never see him playing single.

If Yuuta play for Seigaku in 3rd year, i wonder how would it be to be along Kaidoh & Momoshiro.
It should be a great story.

Re: Top 10 Favourite Players of the series

Lmao, no, there's no way he's around Rikkai level (they were said to be as strong as Tezuka ffs ). But around Sengoku / Davide (and other forgotten bros, like Saeki), yeah, probably. It's not like being the best in St. Rudolph means a lot... but he was still the best

I believe that Konomi, somehow (at least in just some random pictures), will tell us what happens with everyone a year after PoT.

Re: Top 10 Favourite Players of the series

yeah. all rikkai is at Tezuka level. maybe i've overrated akazawa. but he's still worth to be at #6 in my list.
ahhh. davide... i forgot about him. his hair is very nice. he's the unique
well i can't understand why other POT characters dont get his jokes. i think the jokes are funny.

I'm more unforgiving if there is actual malice or a desire to hurt the other player involved. With Duke, Ishida and Danji (and maybe Krauser) it's more of a side effect of their power, so it just squeaks past my radar. Same with players who use their opponents physical weaknesses against them. (Like when Atobe did that to Tezuka. It was still a dick move, but still not completely unforgivable.)

I'm also giving Marui a pass because he was doing it, not for the sake of winning but for his beloved Yukimura-buchou. Also, he was just giving Tohno his just deserts.

The weird thing is that Byoudouin, at least in recent chapters, seems like he might be a decent guy. A bit of a cocky jerk, but in this manga I'm used to that sort of thing. But then he aimed that killer shot a Ryoma (who he barely knows) and struck Tokugawa instead (and got him hard enough for Kurobe to make a worried note of it). I'm not sure what his deal is, but I don't like it.

And you'll have to remind me, what did Niou and Yagyuu do to injure an opponent? I need to reread the original series because I have forgotten so much.

Devil-mode Kirihara definitely belongs on that list, though. I had forgotten how much his match against Fuji upset me and have been somewhat blinded by all of the stuff that has come out since then showing him to be quite adorkable off court.
